Brief Architecture

CORE GATEWAY This service acts as the gateway for complete back-end for this application. All services are routed through this post authentication and necessary checks.

NOTE: During production, this should be scaled appropriately.

• Manages User Accounts, Authentication and Basic Authorization
• Handles routing to appropriate service

SERVICE 1: CHANNELS (NODEJS) This is a sample service written in NodeJS. Further Details:

• Node JS + MongoDB + Mongoose
• Features: Allows user to maintain custom channels and add comments to each channel (similar to slack without collaboration)
• Uses the central user for application specific authorization management

SERVICE 2: TASKS (GOLANG) This is a sample service written in GoLang. Further Details:

• GoLang
• Features: Allows user to create tasks with a specified deadline and view them.
• Uses the central user for application specific authorization management
